God Forbid We Actually Love Our Bodies

Are you caught up in this world of unrealistic beauty standards, self-objectification, comparison, self-doubt, and shame? This wonderfully crafted course is for anyone who has lost hold of the truth regarding their body image and the way God sees them.

Kirsten Haglund, a former Miss America, uses her life experiences and challenges around body image to bring freedom, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening.

Learn firsthand from Kirsten about her struggles with body image and how she associated her worth with her body shape and size, how it could perform, and how others perceived it. And how this eventually led to such an obsession with perfection that she struggled severely with an eating disorder.

Delve into the ancient wisdom of the Bible to uncover the profound significance of our bodies to God as a part of the divine tapestry of creation, and learn how to silence the noise of society's demands and find solace in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father, who designed us in His image – unique and irreplaceable.

During this course, Aesthetic Obsession: God Forbid We Actually Love Our Bodies, you will uncover the true purpose of our bodies and how to honor them through stewardship and self-care. It's not about conforming to some rigid mold; it's about honoring the temple within us and living an abundant life – mind, body, and soul, as God always intended for you.

This course will also guide you into practical strategies and psychological insights to navigate societal pressure, social media, and culture, picking the tools to combat the toxic influences surrounding us.

Wherever you are on this journey, Kirsten guides you as together; you seek out the truth and the tools to grow in profound appreciation for your body. And as you see it and others as instruments of grace, rest in the knowledge that every part of you was magnificently created by a God full of love.
